Last week, the soul legend was performing at the British Summer Time Festival in London when he took a moment to address the tragic shooting deaths that have occurred in America.

He told the 65,000 mostly white crowd in attendance, to walk in solidarity with each other and to embrace love not hate.

“I encourage you to choose love over hate. It’s just that simple," told the crowd, which got a smattering of cheers. "Choose love over hate, right over wrong, kind over meanness. Hope over no hope at all."

"Which brings me to another point. Yes, all life does matter, but the reason that I say that black lives matter is because we are the original people of this world," he added. "So in essence, everybody here has some black in you."

"And for those of you who don't agree with me, I love you but I don't give f---," he finished.

Wonder's concert was part of his tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of his classic 1976 album, Songs In The Key Of Life. The 66-year-old musician said the album's overall message is sorely needed in "this horrible time we’re living in."

"The songs and the words that we talk about, those conditions still exist in the world and that hurts my heart," he said.
